Letters Patent No. 106,695, (lated August 23, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

The Schedule referred to'izx these Lettera Patent and making part of the same.

hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and-to the letters of reference marked. thereon, making a part of this specilinon.

The nature of our invention consists in the coustruction and arrangement of a rotary reaction churn,7 as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable olthers skilled in the art to which our invention Vappertains to make and use the same, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, which represents a. longitudinal vertical section of our churn.

A represents a water-tight box of any suitable dimensions, providedwitlrhinged lids B, through one of which is a fnnnel,-O.

In the bottom of 'the box A is a faucet, D.

1n the center of ,the box A is placed atin cylinder, E, provided with a cap or lid, H,through the center or which passes the upright shaft G, revolving on pivots in the bottom of the cylinder, and in a cross-bar, I, above the. box A, which cross-bar connects the extended sides of said box. Y

lhe shaft G is, within the cylinder E, provided with arlnsJ J, forming the churn-dasher.

lhe milk is put in the cylinder E, and the box A around it filled with water, either hot or cold, in order to regulate lthe temperature of the milk without mix` ing water with the milk.

ljhe water is poured into the box through the funnel O at top, and let ofi' at the faucet D at the bottom. Y

The shaft G is turned back and fort-h by means of a box, K, similar to a fiddle-box, workingr through a slot or mortise in a cross-piece, L, above the box, the

cord a of said bow being wrapped oncearound the` shaft.

The bow, thus placed, works the shaft first-one way and then the other, in the manner that small drills are frequently worked by blacksmiths.

lhe arms or paddles J J, that cut and stir up the milk, are so set and shaped as to work ou the principle of a screw. As the shaft revolves rapidly in one direction, they cleave the milkl and elevate it from the bottom ot' the churn, just as an auger cleaves the wood and elevates thc chips in boring, and then, the shaft being suddenly reversed and turned rapidly the other way, cleaves the milk again, and at the same time (lashing it forcibly back toward the bottom of the churn, and in this rapid action the milk is constantly permeated with-air in the most complete manner.

By the use of this churn butter may be made in a very short space of time.`

Having thus fully described our invention,

What we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The arrangement of the water-tight box A, with funnel C and faucet D, in combination with the cylinder E and cover H, substantially as anti for the purposes herein set forth.

2; The combination of the boxA with funnel C and faucet D, cylinder E, shaftG, arms J J, and bow I all constructed and arranged to operate substantially in the manner and for the pulposes herein set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing, we have hereunto set our hands and seals this 6th day Vof April, 1870.
